Subject:Headlight screw adjustment clips: Rectangular 87 lamps
From:Detroit Bus
Date:Wed, 12 Jan 2005 13:42:14 -0500

Hi list,

Two of my (low beam) white plastic headlight screw adjustment clips
broke into pieces while taking apart/adjusting my headlight assembly,
and the special round-headed screws themselves are rusted beyond
practical re-use.

Are universal replacements generally available at auto parts stores or
is this a vanagon/VW dealer only item? (I think I found them at Bus
Depot for $5 each, but there is no photo.) Any recommendations for a
temporary rig that will do the job? Can I just install a home-brewed
combination of screws, washer and nuts until I get the specialized
parts, or is this a futile effort?
